"Aspiring is very scarce" says a re pIort in the Greenville News, speaking of the effect of the war on drugs. "As piring" is very plentiful around here, judging by the number of candidates out for solicitor, sheriff and coroner. In fact "aspiring" doesn't Seem to be a drug on the market here in any sense of the word. FAR.\l PRIODUCEI. We understand that. several men in Gray Court have found the business of buying chickens, eggs and other pro duce for shipment to other points fair ly profitable. If such a business is proflitable in Gray ('ottr it ought to be profitable here and nlot prove any in jury to the business of the Gray ('curt men.

DR. REED SMITH MADE ADDtESS. 'Tralked Before Better Laurens Club NFriday Night at the School Audi. torium, Prof. Reed Smith, of the University of South Carolina, made au address before the Better Laurens Club in the school auditorium Friday evening. Prof. Smith's address was devoted largely to an exposition of woman's sphere In the work of bringing about better living conditions and developing higher ideals in the thoughts of the time. He cited instances to show how the influence of wioman is becoming felt more and more in thosb things which affect the material and moral life of the nation. hlis address was given the closest attention and at its conclusion many present went forward to express their thanks to him for his presence and his message. Pro'. Smith's lecture was one of a number being de livered by professors of the University under an Extension campaign. Before the lecture, Supt. Parkinson outlined the plans and motives of the Better Laurens Club and about twenty pupils of the school gave a little play in which the dangers of uncleanliness and carelessness were pointed out and how these dlangers could be removed. Special stress was laid on the danger of allowing trash to accumulate and lies to breed, by which disease was permitted to spread from house to house and from person to person. m'aitli ('onVieys ideas by Every Move.

PUT llEALT:- I:N FIRST PLACE Present Generation of Youth in Many Ways an Improvement Over Those of the Past. Our young people in their habits andl tastes cherIsh andl crave. anid ad mire health with a dlevotioni unpalr allehed since the days of the Greeks, writes Francis Greenwvood Peabody in the Atlantic lontdhly. The call of the fields anid of tihe wild, the inoculationi of carly childhood with the fever of athletes, and the enormous distinc tioni obtained lby strength, agility and pluck-even the unprecedented can dor of literature anid coniversation concerning sex, parenthood, eugoenics and foeminism-all these signs of the time, though they may involve now risks, unquestionably free young peo. pie in large degree from the intro spection, sentimentalism, morbid con scientiousness, prudishness and pruri once, which have afflicted earlier geri erations. Fearless, selfaconfldence, even audacity, issue from this health mness. Nothing is too personal to be mentioned; nothing too startlIng to be welcomed; nothing too sacred to be criticized. The most repelling of traits is sicklinmess, either of body or of mind. Strong doctrine, naked truth. undisguised convictions, are marka of the cult of healthiness, and the re sultant type of youth is one which can not be observed without admiration, as one watches an athlete stripped for his game and rejoicing in his strength. The Head of the Firm. As he appears to The Ofmce Boy-A large fat being whose grumble is worse than Jove's thunder and whosie commlendatory nod is worth almost any amount of per sonal inconvenience. Head Dookkeeper-A good man, with no head for figures, who has ar rivedl at Ils present exalted position by a combination of luck and pul11. The Stenlographer-A pleasanit, old party with sinagular weaknesses and a strang9e capacity-rarely exercised, however--to make one'ecry. TIl Wife--A bany-.f Solutipn of Tai Problem, . In the event that, the State of South Carolina is forced to go into the fire insurance business to protect the property of the taxpayers there will be not the slightest danger of over insurance if no policy is written in ex cess of the valuation at which the property insured is returned for tax ation. The adoption of a provision of this sort would either greatly in crease the amount on the property on the tax books or materially reduce the amount of fire insurance written in South Carolina.-Vatchnan and Southron. * * * " * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LANFORD NEWS. * * * - ' * * " " . * * * * r * . . .
